When Innersloth，a Redmond, Washington-based video game-development studio， developed and published the online game in June 2018, it would not have been expected to become so wildly popular. Originally obscure, the game was tapped by numerous game anchors 2 years after its launch and subsequently exploded. It has shot to the top of the free game chart on the App Store of many countries.

The game is set in a spaceship where the player takes on one of two roles—most are Crewmates, but a small number play Alien Impostors—which does not alter their appearance. The crew's goal is to find the impostor and complete the mission which is to save the spaceship and guarantee a safe trip back home. While the impostor's goal is to kill all crew members without being detected. The game supports 4 to 10 players, where 1 to 3 players are randomly selected to play the role of the impostors and the rest of the players play the role of the crew.

In the game, each player will control a humanoid being wearing a spacesuit in different colors. Players find the impostors through typing and voice communication. They can hold emergency meetings and vote to throw another player out of the spaceship. The game also has many items to choose from, such as spacesuit colors, skins, hats and pets, some of which require payment.

Games in the style of werewolf killing have long faded from the players’ eyes. However, Among Us is quite popular. Although the game company has never had a massive marketing campaign. Its popularity can be partially attributed to short video creators.

For example, on TikTok, Among Us' hilarious short films can reach a hit level of more than ten million hits. The fact that Among Us is so hot may also show that the demand of players is constant and there are still opportunities for new bottles of old wine. 

Find the bad guys lurking among the good guys, and compete with each other through communication, analysis and acting skills to survive in the game. Isn't this the drama that is often played out in the adult world? No wonder playing Among Us has a bottom line: if you are playing the good guys, don't stay still if you want to live long.

Among Us is an online multiplayer social deduction game from developer InnerSloth.

Crewmates can win by completing all tasks or discovering and voting for the imposter to get ejected. The Impostor can sabotage to cause chaos, making it easier to kill and having better alibis.

Among US is a fairly simple game, but it can make each player feel like he is a part of the game, and the behavior of the player determines the fate of himself and the other players. In this type of game, the psychological game is the most interesting part.
The essence of social reasoning games is the fun of interaction between players. Unlike traditional video games, they have too many operational requirements. The operations involved in games are often simplified to the extreme, but they are not as traditional. Like the reasoning board game, the established game process and simple interaction links give play to the interactive charm of video games.

Game flow and special mechanisms

1. Discussion link:
It is a mandatory part of this game. When someone reports that a corpse is found, everyone enters the discussion and enters the vote. The one with the most votes is thrown out of the airlock. In addition,

during the game, you can also press the emergency button to force entry into the game discussion. The emergency button also has a limited number of times per game.

Voting can be assigned to a player based on the discussion, or it can be skipped when the situation is uncertain. The user with the most votes is the only result of this round of discussion. If a player gets the most votes, the player will be thrown out, If the number of people skipping voting is the largest, no player will be thrown out of the airlock this round.

2. Crew tasks:
In the game, the crew can win the game by completing all the tasks. The content of each person's task is slightly different. Some tasks also need to be carried out cooperatively. You can go according to the instructions on the map. The task format is very simple and only requires a little bit of operation. It should be noted that you should try to avoid acting alone so that there will be witnesses if you get killed.
